Initial clinical experience with scanned proton beams at the Italian National Center for Hadrontherapy (CNAO)
We report the initial toxicity data with scanned proton beams at the Italian National Center for Hadrontherapy (CNAO). In September 2011, CNAO commenced patient treatment with scanned proton beams within two prospective Phase II protocols approved by the Italian Health Ministry. Patients with chondrosarcoma or chordoma of the skull base or spine were eligible. By October 2012, 21 patients had c...
متن کاملMetastatic disease from spinal chordoma: a 10-year experience.
OBJECT Metastastic lesions have been reported in 5 to 40% of patients with spinal and sacrococcygeal chordoma, but few contemporary series of chordoma metastastic disease exist in the literature. Additionally, the outcome in patients with chordoma-induced metastastic neoplasms remains unclear. The authors performed a retrospective review of the neurosurgery database at the University of Texas M...
متن کاملTowards biology-oriented treatment planning in hadrontherapy.
By representing damage induction by ionising particles and its repair by the cell, the probabilistic two-stage model provides a detailed description of the main processes involved in cell killing by radiation. To link this model with issues of interest in hadron radiotherapy, a simple Bragg peak model is used. Energy-loss, its straggling and the attenuation of the primary particle fluence are r...
متن کاملChordoma
PURPOSES To review in the literature, all the epidemiological, clinical, radiological, histological and therapeutic data regarding chordomas as well as various notochordal entities: ecchordosis physaliphora, intradural and intraparenchymatous chordomas, benign notochordal cell tumors, parachordomas and extra-axial chordomas. To identify different types of chordomas, including familial forms, as...
متن کاملEtoile∗ Hadrontherapy Project, Review of Design Studies
The Rhone-Alpes hadrontherapy facility project ETOILE is based on production of up to 400 MeV/amu carbon and 220 MeV proton beams using earlier CERN synchrotron design ”PIMMS”. The accelerator complex has necessitated several design studies relevant to the technical specificities of ETOILE, in support to cost evaluations. These studies are described and concern the optics of the low, medium and...
